Weaving a road network extending in all directions
Our reporter Qi Hui
“If you want to get rich, build roads first.” Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, my country’s transportation poverty alleviation has made decisive achievements. Newly rebuilt 2.086 million kilometers of rural roads, of which 1.1 million kilometers were impoverished areas, and the total length of rural roads reached 4.201 million kilometers. The area has newly added 51,000 hardened roads in organic villages, realizing all the towns and villages that meet the conditions have hardened roads.
At present, the transportation infrastructure network and service system in poverty-stricken areas with "external and internal connections, villages and villages, buses to villages, safe and convenient" has basically taken shape, providing strong support for local poverty alleviation and prosperity.
Get rid of the inconvenience of transportation
In the Wuling mountainous area in winter, the sky is high and the clouds are pale, and the roads are smooth and happy.
In Dianziping Village, Longping Township, Jianshi County, Enshi Prefecture, Hubei Province, surrounded by mountains, winding village roads extend in all directions, neat steel guardrails extend along the road, and farmhouses are of different forms along the way.
Before the passage, Dianziping Village suffered from traffic inconvenience.
"We have an old saying:'The Shizhu River on the left, the Ladder River on the front, the Yaro River on the right, and the big hillside on the back. Our ancestors have worn their backs like camels for generations," said Wang Guangguo, Party Branch Secretary of Dianziping Village. The appearance of the mountainous areas has been changed, the original dirt roads have been turned into asphalt roads, various new-style villages have sprung up, and the production and living environment of the people have been greatly improved.
Inconvenient transportation is an important reason why it is difficult to escape poverty in mountainous areas.
In these areas, there are similar experiences: bumpy mountain roads along the way, potholes in the village, dusty shoes on sunny days, and muddy roads on rainy days.
Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, my country has strengthened transportation poverty alleviation planning and design, continued to increase investment, focused on overcoming deep poverty fortresses, and resolutely won the battle of transportation poverty alleviation.
According to Liu Xiaoming, Deputy Minister of the Ministry of Transport, a total of more than 1.46 trillion yuan has been arranged for car purchase tax funds to support road construction in impoverished areas, which has driven social investment of more than 5.13 trillion yuan; during the "13th Five-Year Plan" period, a total of car purchase taxes have been arranged Funding 247.6 billion yuan to support the transportation construction of the "three districts and three states", accounting for about 30% of the investment in transportation poverty alleviation in the same period.
With the support of many parties, a large number of new roads and bridges in impoverished areas were connected: In 2014, the Gaoligongshan tunnel of the Dulong River in the deep mountains of Yunnan was opened, and the half-year history of the ancestors of the Dulong compatriots who had sealed the mountain by a heavy snow for generations ended. The face of poverty, closed and backwardness has been completely changed; in 2018, after more than five years of hard work, all 77 “slip-rope bridges” in Sichuan Province were completed, and the masses are no longer frightened when traveling...One by one highway bridges connect the former “islands” Up.
From Daxing'anling to the southwestern border, from deep mountains and dense forests to island fishing villages, contiguous and destitute areas are concentrated, because the road has new hope.
Industrial development is supported
The improvement of travel conditions has not only brought closer connections between impoverished areas and the outside world, but also provided support for the development of industries in impoverished areas, and helped them get rid of poverty.
Lu Yida of the China Maritime Search and Rescue Center of the Ministry of Transport used to serve as the first secretary of the village in Rela Village, Luhua Town, Heishui County, Aba Prefecture, Sichuan Province.
"After the hardened roads in the village, the modes of'transportation + poverty alleviation','transportation + e-commerce','transportation + characteristic agriculture' have been rapidly developed in Rela Village." Lu Yida said that in 2018, returning home college students took the lead in the establishment. Bingshan Xiaoyatou Food Co., Ltd. is responsible for the unified sales of special agricultural products in the village.
In 2019, Bingshan Xiaoyatou Food Co., Ltd. achieved a sales income of 2.6 million yuan, which promoted the employment of a group of poor households.
Economic entities such as a healthy yak breeding base, a free-range Tibetan pig breeding base, and a mountain chicken breeding cooperative have been established in the village, and the endogenous driving force for development has been significantly enhanced.
The Taihang Red River Valley Roaming Road was built in Shexian County, Hebei Province, attracting a large number of tourists for sightseeing and cycling; Gaoluting Village, Shitai County, Anhui Province, the village road is set against the sea of flowers, rural tourism is booming; the construction of Haichang Community in Weining County, Guizhou Province Through the group road, it is convenient for local farmers to transport Codonopsis.
Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, localities have actively promoted the new development model of "Transport +" and promoted the deep integration of transportation and industry in poor areas.
From 2012 to 2019, approximately 59,000 kilometers of resource roads, tourist roads and industrial roads were rebuilt in impoverished areas.
The construction of the county and village three-level rural logistics network system and the "express delivery to the countryside" project has been accelerated, and 25 rural logistics service brands have been created. The two-way transportation service of "urban goods to the countryside, mountain products to the city, e-commerce to the village, and express delivery to the home" is further enhanced Open up, "transportation + characteristic agriculture + e-commerce", "transportation + culture + tourism", "transportation + employment + public welfare post" and other poverty alleviation models continue to innovate and develop.
With the development of public welfare jobs alone, there are 708,000 rural road jobs nationwide.
Characteristic industries have also arisen and prospered because of roads, opening a door for farmers to get rid of poverty and become rich.
Boost rural revitalization
During the Spring Festival, the 5634 public welfare "slow trains" were still the same as usual, full of passengers, and stopped at Puxiong Station on the Chengdu-Kunming Railway safely and punctually.
There are 81 pairs of public welfare "slow trains" operating in remote areas like 5634 times. Stops at stations, low fares, and public transportation have built a bridge between the village and the city, allowing people along the line to enjoy transportation services. .
Another important task of transportation poverty alleviation is to improve the level of equalization of basic public services and strive to ensure that the public enjoys the right to transportation services fairly.
By the end of August 2020, my country has basically realized 100% access to passenger cars in qualified towns and villages, and rural logistics has also developed rapidly, which has effectively promoted the integration of urban and rural transportation.
As of the end of 2019, 52 demonstration counties for the integration of urban and rural transportation have been launched, and the proportion of districts and counties with integrated urban and rural transportation development levels reaching AAA and above AAAA level exceeds 95% and 79% respectively.
The development of transportation integration has also ensured the interconnection of urban and rural infrastructure, and the level of public services such as education, medical care, culture, and elderly care in rural areas has also been improved simultaneously, which has promoted the accelerated development of urban and rural economic integration.
At the same time, all localities regard the construction of rural roads as an important entry point for the construction of "clean and clean villages" and "village civilization" in the new socialist countryside. Simultaneously carry out greening along the roads and beautification construction of villages and towns along the way, making rural roads beautiful. Landscape.
The rich and beautiful countryside has accelerated the return of rural talents.
Luo Hongbo, Director of the Law Enforcement Supervision Division of the Department of Legal Affairs of the Ministry of Transport, who used to work in Anyuan County, Ganzhou City, Jiangxi Province, was deeply moved by this. "In the past, most of the young adults here went to work, and many villages became'hollow villages.' With the improvement of transportation and more enterprises, a large number of young and middle-aged laborers return to their hometowns for employment and build their hometowns."
With industry and popularity, there is greater hope for rural revitalization.
